Last week, Austin Texas based AutoScheduler announced a pivot to be a stand-alone rebranded product designed to leverage an enhanced set of algorithms, artificial intelligence and Cloud deployment technology as an extension to existing WMS and ERP technology.
This provider’s marketing tagline is aptly noted as: Intelligent Warehouse Orchestration for Faster, Smarter WMS.
The term rebranded actually manifests itself from the fact that, for over a decade, this technology has been deployed across consumer product goods provider Procter & Gamble to orchestrate process extensions of warehouse activities to service multiple customer fulfillment channels while minimizing the overall number of transfer shipments. The technology has created multiple millions in cost savings and eliminates touches by performing activities like orchestrating shipments directly from plant production lines, and proactively cross-docking shipments to avoid unneeded put-away. The technology further provides the data to proactively determine what orders will be affected if an inbound shipment does not arrive on-time, or a production line goes down. Additionally, in a multi-building campus, AutoScheduler deploys inventory strategically to eliminate wasteful transfer shipments.
